A Wanting Elem emit of Education

Some say train the intellect and life
will become better and surer. But ex-
perience is against them. Learning
does not beget virtue. The worst crimes
Of the past twenty-five years have been
committed by men of the highest edu-
cation. You must present virtue to the
mind day after day in it's brightest light,
SO that the mind viii become enamored
Of it. You must endeavor to make the
practice of virtue habit, What is
done for the hand and the intellect must
also BE done for the will Moral train
ing begets the one great thing wanting
on earth the thought of duty duty to
/ God and man In the education of this
country teaching men to be servants, to
drive horses and labor in the street? I
think not. It Is largely without NOR
al side, and the sense that it is noble to
labor, that every man has duty to pre-
form, i being destroyed. It produces
dream that Il IS ignoble to labor, that
the purpose Of life IS TO be q grand gem

Solicitor General Hill.

F. B. H., in Atlanta Cor. Augusta Chronicle
The speech of Solicitor General Hill
in conclusion Saturday night was a
remarkable one. For four hours he
kept the attention of the immense
crowd, many OF whom were standing.
Without note or memorandum OF
the evidence, without any outline Of
the order OF his argument, he spoke
for three hours and fifty minutes
without once repeating himself or
Illustrating the evidence, or allowing
the interest to flag. Without flippan-
cy or trifling with the dignity of the
questions involved, he kept the au-
dien:e laughing and the sheriff trapping
them to order, and without attempt
ing oratorical flights he would occas-
lonally inject some exquisite thought
or gem OF expressions into his telling
argument. His frequent illustrations
or quotations from Dickens, Shaks-
peAre, or some of the poets, showed
that he remembered what he read;
but his frequent awkward sentences
and ungrammatical utterances indi-
Gated that he was indolent and care.

and trusted to his ability to over
shadow his defects. He handled the
witnesses on the otherside with seat n,

finite good hunlor that the witness
died with q smile on his face, and was
ready to forgive him as he cut his
throat, he did it so neatly. But fol

jury must have revolted at his whole.

remarkable speech, not for oratory
or eloquence, but for originality, skill
and telling force. Mr.. Hill inherits
much OF the wonderful ability OF his
distinguished sire, the late lamented
Benjamin H. Hill, and with stidious
application has wonderful posslbili,
ties before him.

Master in. Chancery Fishback.

In July last a number of the bondholders of
the l., b. & w. railroad, by suit in the federal
court, obtained the appoint Of Mr. G. E. Hender
son as receiver for that road. Among the num-
Der was the Central Loan and Trust Company,

presented the draft of decree to the court.
Mr. H. G. Crawford. who represented several
bondholders, whom he did not name, asked
leave to intervene on behalf of them. The ques-

PROPOSING A PLAZA.
An Undeveloped Plan to Greatly Beantify the
Surroundings Of the New State House.

Some fastidious mind has evolved scheme to
establish State-house plaza which is almost as
elaborate as can be, but the probable cost is an
establishment yet to be added The plan pro-
poses to extend the plaza the east side of the
State house from Washington to Ohio streets
and half way to Illinois. The same
programme Is to be carried out on
the west side, and also it is proposed to add on
the west all lying between Ohio and the first al
ley north OF Washington, extending to Military
Park, and including the strip of ground running
along the western arm OF the canal, where the
Friendly Inn stands and which is now the joint
property of the State and the water works. To
this it is proposed to add Military Park 1t is also
suggested that G. A. R. monument shall be
situated in this plaza, and that the Hendricks
monument be erected whore his late home now
stands. The gentlemen interested in this plan
will call meeting soon. at which committee
to canvass the cost will be appointed.
